This isn't really comparable.
Sony's marketing for games when they showcased PS5 was deliberately misleading; they announced several titles only at that time, gave them no solid release dates and then gave vague messaging about 'these games are being developed for PS5'.
I remember people coming to these very forums and preaching 'you can just tell these games are undeniably games that could only exist on a PS5', only for the games to eventually be confirmed for PS4 in the months leading up to their actual release (which wasn't close to the PS5 launch window). And they looked great on PS4, because they were well optimised and made to scale across hardware, not just optimised for one specific hardware which many people believed and Sony were happy for them to spread that messaging.
Nintendo announced those games for Switch well in advance and now they will be releasing alongside Switch 2 with upgraded versions. The games that were announced today during the Switch 2 showcase-- Mario Kart World, Donkey Kong Bananza etc., are Switch 2 games. There's no mixed or vague messaging around them. No one is here questioning whether any of those games could release on the current Switch.
Not that I care at all about cross-gen releases or releasing more games on older systems, but deceptive marketing is something no one should support.
